For families that are thinking about adding a pop of bright bold color to their home, it can be tricky to decide how. You don’t want to overdo it by encompassing an entire room in sunny yellow, vibrant blue or rich red, but you do want to make a statement that will make guests say “wow” when they walk inside.
Luckily, there are plenty of creative ways to add just the right amount of color to bring a neutral room to life. Read on to find out how.
Color an Accent Wall
Make a statement without straining your eyes by focusing your vibrant hue in one area. Pairing a brightly colored accent wall with a more neutral shade throughout creates a focal point in your room for the architecture, artwork or furniture you would like to highlight.
To help blend your statement hue into the rest of the room, use accent décor and throw pillows in patterns that incorporate the color.
Brighten a Small Space
Another great way to add a pop of color to your home is to paint the bathroom or powder room. A bit of bold color looks great in a small space, especially when paired with a white tub, toilet and cabinetry.
Splash the Ceiling
Although most homes boast white ceilings, this isn’t a rule that you have to follow. Painting your ceiling and trim in a fun hue is a wonderful way to add some life to your space without committing to the intense look of brightly colored walls. Not all of your rooms need to copy this exact color formula, but we do recommend incorporating the color you paint your ceiling with into the surrounding rooms to help your style flow.
Highlight Architecture
For homes with beautiful architectural features, there are even more opportunities to add color to your space. Fireplaces and exposed ceiling beams both can be painted in a rich color to attract attention. We absolutely love the look of this bright orange fireplace, found on Houzz.
When it comes to painting – especially with a bright, bold color – it is always a good idea to get some professional advice. For families in the Los Angeles area, Richard Stewart Painting has more than 30 years of experience finding the right colors for both the interior and exterior of homes.
